Billericay School – SpeakUp!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Reviews Gather around, Archive-ites. Gather around and hear the tale of a long lost art that we once all treasured eons ago; the tale of video game difficulty. A long time ago in the kingdoms of Space Invaders, Pac Man, Golden Axe and Double Dragon, there once lived [...]

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Reviews I feel awfully divided about this, almost like a beaten housewife who deep down still adores her thug of a husband. I feel like I should be commending this for bringing back some of the tropes and traditions that made the old days so great and memorable [...]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly reviews There’s often a lot of good-natured (well, not really but I try to be optimistic about this pit of angst) debate about whether video games can be classed as a form of art. On the defensive side one can say that yes they are; they allow people [...]

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Reviews   I really don’t say this very often but after having ran, jumped, lifted, heaved, screamed, cried, hid in corners, turned wheels, ran a little more, collected magical orbs, screamed some more and then ran a little more of my way through it, I have come to [...]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly reviews   For those of you who thought Frictional Games’ success ended at the release of Penumbra: Overture, I am glad to inform you that the cosy little Swedish developer were on a roll and continue to remain on a roll to this day as Overture spawned two [...]

However there is another, one that is worth mentioning; Digimon. Digimon is known for its more taboo elements that are glossed over in other kid shows, it’s range [...]

    Many years ago, people watched some of the most anticipated films on the big screen. Now we can watch our favourite blockbuster on a portable TV set at a lower price. This means that the producers of these movies need a new edge to put them to the front of the Christmas list. This had [...]

(warning: review has mild adult language and a lot of rage. You have been warned) Mario, what’s in the name; a short Italian plumber in red overalls, a history as old as Nintendo itself, years of gaming pleasure? All of this and much more. His games have ranged from platformers to RPGs to simple party [...]

House Of The Dead Overkill The House Of The Dead Overkill is a good game. I wouldn’t rate it great because it’s very limited. The variety of weapons is very small and the story is quite repetitive, it is also very difficult on single player mode. On the Brightside it does give you hours on [...]
